Increases Your Metabolism for up to 24 hours: 

• When you expose your body to cold temperatures, it can stimulate certain metabolic processes, such as thermogenesis, where the body produces heat to maintain its core temperature.  The hot phase of contrast therapy can also have a temporary impact on metabolic rate, as the body works to cool itself down. The collective exchange of both extremes will require your body to work (aka burn calories to help weight loss) to get your system back to homeostasis.

Improved Circulation:

• The alternating between hot and cold helps stimulate blood flow and enhances circulation. This can be particularly beneficial for promoting cardiovascular health.

Reduced Muscle Soreness:

• Contrast therapy may help alleviate muscle soreness and stiffness. The cold component can reduce inflammation, while the heat component can relax muscles.

Enhanced Recovery:

• Athletes often use contrast therapy to aid in recovery after intense physical activity. It can potentially speed up the recovery process and reduce the risk of injury.

Pain Relief:

• The combination of hot and cold treatments may provide relief from certain types of pain, including joint pain and arthritis.

Invigorating and Energizing:

• The contrast between hot and cold can create a stimulating effect, leaving individuals feeling more invigorated and energized.
